What is film festival
Since the beginning, our commitment to breathe life into unparalleled, authentic experiences has been at the forefront of our endeavors. In an ever-increasing digital world marked by hands-off interaction, we searched for a unique avenue to bridge the gap between these experiences and our customers, one that could stand as a physical expression of our mission to be Built Better®. We found it in the Film Festival.
A celebration intertwining storytelling, music, artistry, and conservation, the Film Festival features performances from Jordan Davis, Tucker Wetmore, and an ensemble of friends, followed by the exclusive premiere of immersive short films showcasing stories within the waterfowl community. Attendees can indulge in shopping at vendor booths, participate in the live auction, and try their luck in drawings.
In an effort to safeguard waterfowl and the environments they call home for future generations, a portion of the proceeds generated from Film Festival are donated to conservation groups and incentive programs.
